Graduate School of Management

Students at Clark’s Graduate School of Management immerse themselves in a rigorous business education and benefit from relevant, hands-on preparation that positions them for success. Just as important, they become part of a diverse family of students, professors, and staff who engage and support them – and inspire them to challenge convention and change the world.

GSOM’s nine academic programs instill an appreciation for the complex challenges professionals face in the real world. As a management school within a liberal arts university, we take a different approach to business education – one focused on the human context in which we live and work. Students not only gain the skills needed to tackle those difficult challenges, but also the deep understanding required to do so in a way that empowers others, respects our planet, and leaves the world better than before.

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, part-time MBA student CarrieAnne Cormier was looking for a school that aligned with her vision and values. “From the first time I attended an info session on campus, I could feel the entrepreneurial mindset at Clark and instantly knew this was where I belonged,” CarrieAnne says. She is excited to be applying her coursework in her position as Vice President of Retail Operations and Strategy at Avidia Bank.

Planting the Seeds of Green Logistics

Professor David Correll enjoys seeing his students thrive through experiential learning. “Students see immediately that what they’re learning and being taught is actually quite important and will be considered seriously by the company,” he says. Last year, students in his Green Supply Chain Management course worked with a popular Boston brewery. This year, it was U-Turn Audio, a manufacturer of high-quality turntables. While he’s unsure who the next client will be, his students are guaranteed plenty of hands-on experience.
